Mazatlan Beach Day

Since we only had a day in Mazatlan, what better way to spend it than at the beach?  We had about a 20 minute drive from the house we were renting, so we packed up the cooler and Sweet Pea and off we went.  The first beach we went to had tons of do's and don't and was a "no dogs" beach....really?  In Mexico?  We had spotted another beach earlier, so we went back to that one.  All locals and allowed dogs, that would be our place!

We enjoyed the sun for a while then rented a beach umbrella (for Sweet Pea).  Had some truly lousy tacos from a beach restaurant and after a few hours of sun, we packed it up and went back to the house.  Made mac & cheese, played cards, and called it a visit to Mazatlan.

To be totally honest, we weren't impressed with Mazatlan.  LOTS of people, traffic, and gringo prices!  Not the Mexican experience we're seeking, but glad we can say we stopped.  Think we'll skip this on the return trip.
